2011 NFL Free Agency News: Aubrayo Franklin, Zach Miller And Ronnie Brown

in NFL Free Agency 2011
Email
PrintThere have been a few notable free agency moves today so here's an update on a few of them. Check out all free agency moves at this link.
NT Aubrayo Franklin to the New Orleans Saints. He was believed to be going back to the San Francisco 49ers so the move to New Orleans is a bit of a surprise. It's a one-year deal which tells me that there wasn't much of a market for him and a long-term deal. So he signs a one-year and hits the market again in 2012. The Chiefs never really had significant interest in him, especially at his price tag.
TE Zach Miller to the Seattle Seahawks. He was reportedly thought to be headed back to the Oakland Raiders but apparently not. The good news for Chiefs fans is that this takes away arguably the best offensive player from the Raiders so they just got worse.
RB Ronnie Brown to the Philadelphia Eagles. This is a solid move for the "Dream Team". The Eagles need their running backs to catch the ball and Brown does well in that category. Plus, they finally get a big, strong running back, which they haven't had for a while. I like this move for them.

Man, the Seahawks already had a few decent pieces on offense last year with guys like Mike Williams and Marshawn Lynch.
Then they shore up their o-line in the draft and with Robert Gallery, and bring in Sidney Rice and Zach Miller.
And they topped it all off by tabbing Tarvaris Jackson as their starter. Awesome.

I'm happy that Miller is out of the division
But another questionable move by the seahawks. They already had a under used TE John Carlson.

No, they signed Tarvaris Jackson in free agency and a few days later they made him the starter heading into training camp.
I suppose it’s possibly that Charlie Whitehurst, the clipboard Jesus, could drastically outplay him in the preseason and take the job away, but is that really any better for them?
I’m beginning to wonder if they’re tying to build a solid core while still staying in the Luckstakes.

Nice situation for Luck, if that is how it happens
reliable TE, stud WR, a should-be-decent O-line and running game…

Osi
I wouldn’t mind snagging Osi. Living in Jersey i might actually get to hear about the Chiefs on the news!
Strange, unusual free agent target I want...
is fullback Madison Hedgecock. I haven’t heard of him going anywhere yet. I’d actually rather have him over McClain. McClain will want his fair share of carries, which I can’t envision happening with Charles, Jones and Dexter. But Madison?…he’s an old-school, smash-mouth fullback.

Hedgecock and Cox.
Our FBs would be a walking porn duo.

Look at their draft history from 2000 to now

by Rum on Aug 2, 2011 4:34 PM CDT up reply actions
So, ....
If Franklin were to have signed just a 1 yr deal in KC, wouldn’t that negate the whole “he’s younger than Gregg” argument? As long as Gregg still has one good year in him, I’d say his play coupled with his experience and guidance would outweigh anything Franklin could have provided.
Gregg fits the system the Chiefs are running
Franklin does not. That’s really what it’s about. Plus, Gregg has been good for more than one or two years.
Based on the interview too he's a better character guy and accomplishes what Pioli is looking to do.
Doubt we would’ve heard Franklin say in his first interview that he was excited about our NT draft pick and helping him out.
"Success is never ending, failure is never final."
Kind of awesome that the guy WANTS to be a mentor.
"You can't be fat and fast too; so lift, run, diet, and work." ~ Hank Stram
I like the Gregg signing
I am worried about his age and his knee, but I am excited about some of the things I have heard about his game knowledge and leadership skills.
Plus, Jim Zorn had that inside knowledge on him.
The Aubrayo Franklin signing is perplexing, maybe he figures if he wins a Super Bowl with the Saints it will drive up his last contract better then the contracts he was offered during this offseason.
Like, giving himself a self implemented Franchise Tag to a team of his choice.
I am glad Manusky didn’t go after him in San Diego to team him with Spikes again.

Joel
I think LeSean may very well disagree with you about Philly not having a
big, strong running back, which they haven’t had for a while.
I’m not sayin’, I’m just sayin’.

McCoy is not a big strong back...

Disagree totally with that assessment.
The man is strong as an ox.
"You gonna pull them pistols...or whistle Dixie?"
5-11, 208ish lbs and almost always goes down quickly...?
The man is good in the screen game and catching passes but not a tough inside runner

H^2-Hali and Houston
by BAMFSpecialOps on Aug 2, 2011 4:51 PM CDT up reply actions
Totally disagree
Look how many times they ran him up the gut last year.
"You gonna pull them pistols...or whistle Dixie?"
I don't see McCoy as a power back
he’s a receiver/runner like Westbrook was
and Philly never really runs up the middle, do they?
He has decent instincts and is certainly sporting a nice mixture of size and speed. It also takes a lot to knock him down. On many occasions, his superb balance and control have kept McCoy upright when most backs would be lying on the ground. But he does not run between the tackles very well or often. While not running between the tackles is a concern for most starting backs, that does not mean McCoy can not find a place in the NFL. In this day and age of multiple running backs, he can be a great change of pace back who can run to the outside and catch the ball out of the backfield
All I can tell you is that
I watched a lot of him last year and he looked and played very large running up the middle when it happened.
"You gonna pull them pistols...or whistle Dixie?"
Regardless the Eagles are loaded and should be fun to watch on offense
They still need to get Desean Jackson figured out, and Maclin has been really ill.
meh...

Besides which
who said anything about power back? Joel just said big strong back. That was what my response was to.
"You gonna pull them pistols...or whistle Dixie?"
Always goes down quickly?
I guess that’s how he averaged 5.2 yards per carry on 200 carries?
"You gonna pull them pistols...or whistle Dixie?"
Outside runs can gain you big yardage

They gave him

Whats crazy is the seahawks did everything that the Raiders should've done.
Outdone by Pete Carroll?
"Success is never ending, failure is never final."
Like Pioli's plans always are...
it wasn’t clear at first…
I thought Edwards and Smith would be back
then I thought Franklin would be the new NT
then, Gregg signed
now, I think the plan (which is just crazy enough to work) is
Gregg >=Edwards and Powe/Bailey >= Smith
Dont forget Ty Warren
Even if he doesnt sign we’re at least kicking tires.
"Success is never ending, failure is never final."
yeah, honestly if he does sign... I don't know where his playing time will come from
I think Toribio is cut either way
But, I think they will depend on Dorsey, Gregg, Jackson with plenty of Powe, Gilberry, Bailey mixed in
And then he went to visit Houston.
Where he left without a contract.
"Success is never ending, failure is never final."
Cause he really fits in Houstons 1 gap system? Gasping for straws again...

Depending on the money it would be a good signing.
Pats let him walk because of his injury last year and his current contract. If we can get him at good dollar he’s a nice insurance plan considering TJax is still a somewhat unknown quantity and Dorsey has a contract ending soon.
"Success is never ending, failure is never final."
Saving the best for last?
Maybe he liked Kansas City, but wanted to check out the other options to be sure. Schedule his KC visit last so he’s already heard the other pitches and can decide.

So just for the record...
…supposedly elite 3-4 nose tackle Aubrayo Franklin signed a one-year contract with New Orleans, which runs a 4-3 defense and already has Shaun Rodgers and Sedrick Ellis. Meaning that Franklin didn’t even get a guaranteed starting job.

I'll go as far to say that
we set the market value on Franklin by signing Gregg to a 1 year deal. Everyone knew we were hurting for a NT, and if we passed on Franklin to give Gregg a deal, I doubt there would be any other biters
From SBP front page.
Miller will be the Seahawks’ starter at tight end, and perhaps Tarvaris Jackson’s most important receiver." Well this season is pretty much tanked.

I don't want to rain on the "make fun of Heyward-Bey" parade.
Because, honestly, it’s one of my very favorite activities.
But remember that he’s only heading into his third year. It’s not impossible that he could still pan out.
I mean, how many of us are not only hoping, but expecting, Jackson to have a breakout season this year?
That being said, he was still a hilariously big reach with bad hands.

And now all they can muster up is “Seattle ain’t gonna do shit this year”.

To be fair, they probalby aren't.
Although I suppose Tarvaris has taken a team to the playoffs before. Marshawn Lynch is not Adrian Peterson but, then again, the NFC West is no NFC North.

The most satisfaction Raider fans will be receiving this year is the mediocrity of a team in the other conference.

Yep
oh well…I’ve been hopping over to Silver & Black Pride and letting the schadenfreude distract me from the heat ;-)
Ryan Succop will be the kicker for the AFC in the 2011 Pro Bowl
What a great day for the CHIEFS!!
The Raiders continue to punch themselves in the balls. Fire Tom Cable, lose asamougahalala, sign Cameron Wimbley to a Peyton Manning Contract and lose the most productive player you have on offense (Miller). This is fun to watch. The band-aid is obviously still running things.
i mean..
Why even bother with the band aid…smh

'Wow' was more towards yet another signing by the Eagles
Harm is he is not here?

Im disappointed the Chiefs didn't go after him.
Especially if he was lured by a one year contract.
Would much rather have him then Ryan O.

Maybe the Chiefs did and didn't like his injury history
I don’t really like not even hearing who we are looking at, even with this team having a very solid core

Well the news came out AFTER he signed I mean before they sign with a team
still out on the market, instead of everyone just throwing out names then talking themselves into loving that one player then going on a rant when they are not signed.

It will always be that way with the Chiefs
we well always hear about guys after the fact, before that it is only speculation.

Doesn't mean I have to like it haha
I can understand it but then theres guys that let it be known they will be going to KC like Warren and his agent

Not a good fit for them, he's a ZBS guy going to a PBS team
Honestly its like they’re signing players just to sign them

And Andy Reid is like the opposite of Haley
Well weight-wise anyway, Haley is starting to get a gut though…

Haley had a gut last year.
At least by the end of the season. Looks the same or even lighter to me this year.
Well it still doesn't compare to Reid

Whats the difference between Hugh Hefner and Al Davis?
Al paid a lot of money for bad players and Hugh paid a lot of money to not look like Al.
I do like the eagles chances
But who can stand even one Philly Fan. They act like Al Davis looks.
And with the 1st pick of the 2012 NFL Draft, the Oakland Raiders select....
..some random dude and the announcers scramble to find out who the hell Al just drafted.
Griffin
QB who supposedly will run sub 4.4

yea, there's def some good quo tables over there
Most of them seem to realize that the season is done. On the other hand there is still some diehards
At first I was angry the Chiefs didnt sign Franklin first,
but the more I hear about Gregg the more I like him, and I more I hear about Franklin I dislike him. I do however think now that we have not gotten some good LB’s we need McClain cuz we need all the power on offense we can get.
So true Joel, so true..
The Chiefs never really had significant interest in him, especially at his price tag.
